BYD is clearly at the forefront in new energy vehicle development, and we are pleased to be joining forces with them to expand the availability of electric vehicles in Europe, as well as working together to further innovate around electric vehicles and battery technology.”
In a separate development, a study by JudgeService has identified BYD as the most recognised new car brand among UK buyers.
The research, which surveyed 1,244 car owners, placed BYD at the forefront of brand awareness, surpassing other new entrants from China, the US, and Vietnam.
BYD’s recognition in the UK is noteworthy, with 13% of survey participants aware of the brand, a figure that eclipses other manufacturers such as Polestar and NIO.
Notably, brands like Rivian, WM Motor, Vin Fast, and Fisker did not register in the survey’s spontaneous awareness rankings.
